Hello everyone.
Loup_brun is an internet user who is becoming increasingly interested in connected objects.
I have long refused these things because the desire to protect my privacy and security are paramount to me. (beyond the comfort it brings) so out with connected cameras and other locks.
Except that the connected vacuum cleaner is great (Xiaomi Roborock first version)
And now I see more and more use cases. I nevertheless have limits that I do not want to cross under any circumstances: no GAFA, no lock-in in an ecosystem (hoping I haven’t messed up on the vacuum cleaner…) maximum possible security
A limit I would like not to cross: potentially no access from the outside (without completely closing the door in case)
When I saw Gladys, I immediately liked the interface and the cherry on the cake (connected?) it seemed compatible with my Synology NAS
The problem: I’m totally new and I’m lost. And coding is not my thing + that (but I can do it). And finally, I apparently can’t install Docker on my NAS =( (DS416j)
No problem, that will be an excuse to buy an RPI (which version?)
On the other hand, I don’t know what to buy to play with, so I thought I would ask here.
The idea is to go step by step (which can be chained quickly)
Step 1, the most urgent even without Gladys: connected light in a room where it must be possible to prevent the light from being turned on after a certain time (unless I want to via phone) + intensity/tone depending on the time. The switch is already in place and can be changed to a connected one but not moved. To know that currently, what bothers me is that someone plays a lot with the switch to the point that I had to remove it (and therefore there is no light anymore)
Step 2: measure the temperature and humidity of the cellar and obtain after one year a kind of csv of the measurements taken every 3 hours (date, temperature, humidity) (so 2920 lines that I will then analyze)
Step 3: living room light for ambiance and screen (no case imagined yet but it should come quickly I think) but also which turn off if too much light is received from outside.
Step 4: humidity sensors placed in the right places (on battery) to detect water leaks.
Future step if convinced: connected radiator valve, light in the other rooms, connected shutters, watering etc etc
For now, I would especially like to receive advice on what could help me achieve steps 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Thanks to those who read everything.
